has come to be known as rrsp season it may not be a coincidence that rrsp season arrives during february the coldest bleakest month of the year since both february and retirement planning can leave you frustrated and longing for a beach in the caribbean most canadians recognize how valuable an rrsp can be for sheltering income from tax and for helping accu mulate savings for retirement you may not be aware of an alternative rrsp strategy holding your own mortgage in your rrsp since 1984 the federal government has allowed certain mortgages to be held as an investment within a self- directed rrsp provided that your mortgage qualifies under the guidelines of the program and that you have suf ficient assets to make the program costeffective you can hold the mortgage on your own principal residence in your own rrsp there are several advantages to setting up this type of program first of all youll be paying the interest on your mortgage to your own rrsp rather than to a mortgage lender lenders normally earn a spread on mortgage loans the difference between deposit and lending rates which means youre often able to earn a better rate of return than what is available with most other fixedincome investments like gics secondly the fact that you now have a mortgage in your rrsp doesnt affect your contribution room so you can continue to make regular rrsp contributions thirdly your mortgage is a topquality longterm investment for your rrsp your own first mortgage secured by your own personal property if your house is already free and clear it may actually be beneficial to borrow against your home for invest ment purposes and then establish a mortgage inside your rrsp to replace these borrowed funds in other words it may be possible to unlock part of your rrsp without any adverse tax consequences involved in making the transfer there are several conditions that must be met before you can use your mortgage as an rrsp investment for example only nonarms length mortgages where you have an interest in the property are eligible mortgage interest rates and terms must be in line with those available in the general market although it can be costly to set up and administer a mortgage rrsp for conservative investors the mortgage rrsp can be intriguing together with a professional advisor you should examine whether holding your mortgage in your rrsp is more advantageous than your cunent plan this rrsp season investing a few moments of your time into the mortgage rrsp may turn out to be your best investment yet and who knows there may be a beach in your future after
